Support Local Businesses
Shopping small makes a big difference. From hand-painted tiles to Puerto Rican coffee, the best souvenirs tell a story—and support a community.
Local markets and boutiques are just steps from the port. Look for artisans selling items like wood-carved saints (santos), landscape paintings, or handcrafted jewelry made with native stones. Many vendors in Old San Juan are family-owned businesses passed down through generations. Your purchase helps preserve Puerto Rico's traditions and crafts for the next one.
